- Fix: Simplify to a single-module Maven project, removing the unnecessary complexity of parent/child modules when there is only one child.
- Feature: Provide a MaskingTool as a utility class allowing two text items to be compared where certain fields (for example, date and time fields) are disregarded. This is primarily for testing purposes.
- Fix: Improve support for CONTRL messages produced as an optional by-product of EDIFACT parsing.
- Feature: When splitting, let the syntax details of the original EDI input be easily accessible which may be useful to the system handling the individual transactions.
- Fix: Avoid potential for a null pointer exception when using a plugin with condition flags. For a few transaction/message types, the same segment type can mark the beginning of two different loop/group types; condition flags are used to disambiguate such situations.
- Feature: Add min and max occurrence attributes to a LoopDescriptor. Among other things, this allows an easy way to treat repeatable and non-repeatable segments in a particular loop context differently. For example, when rendering EDI as JSON, you might want to use a JSON key:object pair for a non-repeatable segment, but a JSON array for a repeatable segment.
- Feature: An EDI element that contains only spaces is, by default, treated as an omitted element within the segment. Add an option to treat these spaces as data instead. This option is NOT recommended for normal use.
- Refactor: Revise handling of the fixed length ISA elements, preserving full backward compatibility.
- Feature: In the EDI splitter tool, let the test indicator, "P" or "T", be available as a component when naming the split files.
- Fix: Use CharBuffer with compatibility for Java 11 a well as previous versions. Avoid NoSuchMethodError when using limit() or clear().
- Feature: Use SLF4J as a thin logging facade or abstraction for various logging frameworks, allowing the end user to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time or to run with no logging framework at all.
- Update: Use Java 8 instead of Java 7
- Feature: Support reset() on a PluginController to restore the internal state to its initial condition, allowing a controller to be reused for multiple documents of the same type. This is not used with X12 or EDIFACT, but comes in handy with TRADACOMS available with the premium edition.
- Fix: With this change, the EDIFACT UNB interchange header segment allows the syntax identifier to contain any letter after the UNO instead of restricting to A-K. For example, UNB+UNOL:1+... is allowed.
- Fix: A bug that resulted in an incorrect Id attribute on elements within a segment in a particular combination of repeating elements, composite elements, and empty elements. The situation was not observed with X12 or EDIFACT documents, but in the HL7 parser available in the premium edition.
- Feature: Provide a plugin for 837 version 5010 in the Community Edition
- Feature: Allow specific ISA elements to be variable length instead of the X12-specific fixed length.
- ISA02 - authorization information
- ISA04 - security information
- ISA06 - sender ID
- ISA08 - receiver ID
- Feature: Added an option for X12 syntax characters to appear as attributes
on the <interchange>:
- ElementDelimiter
- SubElementDelimiter
- SegmentTerminator
- RepetitionSeparator (for later X12 versions)
- Fix: The automatically-detected syntax characters (terminators, delimiters, separators, ...) were not all accessible when parsing via the EDIReader class instead of a standard-specific class directly. This fixes that problem.
- Feature: Support the group-level sender and receiver qualifiers in the (rarely-used) EDIFACT UNG segment.
- Feature: When generating a FA/997 as a byproduct of parsing X12 input, avoid hard-coded group control number; use the ISA control number instead.
- Feature: In splitting operations where a group-level version is not available, use information from the interchange instead.
- Fix: When generating X12 FA/997s, be sure to use 0 as the ack request indicator in the ISA.
- Feature: Refactor EDItoXML to ease subclassing.
- Feature: Refactor EDItoXML and add command line option to generate 997 acknowledgment in addition to XML output.
- Feature: Add callbacks to EDIReaderSAXAdapter to be notified at the beginning and end of a BIN (binary) X12 segment.
- Feature: Pass the GS sender and receiver to the splitter for use in naming split output files.
- Fix: An obscure bug with repeated elements involving two adjacent repetition separators.
